Be informed by a Notification when a to-do is assigned to you or your group.
Go to the Options tab and click on Options, then enable the Change notification for to-dos. An administrator can also make these settings for other users. You will then receive a notification in the Notification and reminderswindow if
a new to-do item is created for which you are responsible
the responsibility for an existing to-do item is assigned to you.
Activate a Change notification per to-do if you want to be informed as soon as that to-do entry is edited.
